Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I like to do this as well.... all direct but all live.  It's the live feel you want, going 
direct only helps the recording/isolation without hurting the performance with  
sterile feeling overdubs.  .....Then you do overdubs and if it works you'll know 
it.  The best take wins in my book.
